Lady Gritta

グリッタ嬢

Voiced by Hidaka Noriko

It's not too clear what the etymology of this name is. It looks like Glitter in Japanese, except it's missing the dash at the end that's typical in the Japanese katakana for "glitter". The kaijin wiki also suspects it's Grigio which is Italian for "grey". [1] There's a theory that her name is Grita from the Spanish word "negrita" which means "bold type", but this seems like kind of a stretch.

Kurous
